Advances in understanding bacterial outer-membrane biogenesis
Jan 1, 2006 · The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria functions as a selective barrier that controls the influx and efflux of solutes, a property that is crucial for bacterial survival in different...
Mechanism of outer membrane destabilization by global …
Sep 15, 2023 · The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli is an asymmetric bilayer with the glycolipid lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet and glycerophospholipids...
β-Barrel proteins tether the outer membrane in many Gram-negative ...
Nov 2, 2020 · The tripartite cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is composed of an outer membrane (OM), a peptidoglycan (PG) layer and an inner membrane (IM)1. The OM is decorated with membrane-spanning β...
Insights into the structure of Escherichia coli outer membrane as …
Mar 20, 2021 · The OM of E. coli plays important roles not only on the cell morphology, division, phenotypes, and stress adaptations, but also on the intracellular metabolism. In E. coli, there are two distinct membranes: the OM and the inner membrane (IM) (Fig. 1) [4, 5].
The Escherichia coli outer membrane protein OmpA acquires …
Nov 30, 2021 · To obtain further insight into outer membrane protein (OMP) biogenesis, we revisited the surprising observation reported over 20 years ago that the Escherichia coli OmpA β barrel can be assembled into a native structure in vivo when it is expressed as two noncovalently linked fragments.
Distinct Roles of Outer Membrane Porins in Antibiotic Resistance …
Apr 30, 2019 · The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is a unique architecture which is composed of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lipoproteins, and β-barrel porins (Henderson et al., 2016).
Outer membrane protein biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria
Gram-negative bacteria contain a double membrane which serves for both protection and for providing nutrients for viability. The outermost of these membranes is called the outer membrane (OM), and ...
Bacterial outer membrane vesicles: New insights and applications
Nov 30, 2017 · The bacterial outer membrane (OM) is unique for its asymmetrical distribution of lipid moieties, wherein the exterior leaflet is enriched in lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and the inner leaflet predominantly contains glycerophospholipid.
